But wait, there’s more! The altcoins, those scrappy underdogs of the crypto cosmos, have decided it’s their time to shine. Take Zcash (ZEC), for instance, which has rocketed up by a whopping 17% in the last 24 hours. Who needs a spaceship when your portfolio is already in orbit? 🚀🤑

This juicy drama was the centerpiece of the BeInCrypto panel, “Traditional Studios vs. Blockchain: Can There Be Common Ground?” Moderated by the ever-charming Alevtina Labyuk, Chief Strategic Partnerships Officer at BeInCrypto, the discussion brought together two titans of the industry: Mark Rydon, Co-Founder of Aethir, and Inal Kardan, Director of Gaming at TON Foundation. Spoiler alert: they didn’t throw controllers at each other, but the insights were sharper than a well-timed headshot. 🎯

A joyous day! The 4-hour candle-those fleeting flickers of market sentiment-has at last burnt bright above the downtrend line, a prison wall drawn in October’s imperial excess. And not just any prison, no-the $91,400 fortress, long held by bears with frostbitten fingers, has been “liberated.” 🎉 We are told a glorious ascent to $94,000 now lies ahead, as inevitable as a Siberian winter. But history, that stubborn witness, whispers: “Have we not danced this dance before?” And yet, we must presume success-because failing to do so might require accountability. And that would never do.

The whale positioning occurring off the chart, however, is the most remarkable development. Unanimously, some of the ecosystem’s most intelligent, well-behaved whales are long on ETH and getting bigger. BitcoinOG, a trader with $105 million in total PNL, is holding 54,277 ETH, or about $169.48 million. “Anti-CZ” whale is long 62,156 ETH, a position worth roughly $194 million, and has $58.8 million in total PNL. Another steadily profitable entity with $16.3 million in PNL, pension-usdt.eth, has taken a long for 20,000 ETH, or about $62.5 million. These whales are buying so much, they’re practically doing a TikTok dance. 🐟

Binance’s operations will now be run by a trio of overachievers: Nest Exchange Services Limited, Nest Clearing and Custody Limited, and Nest Trading Limited. Think of them as the Avengers of digital assets-each with a special duty to keep everything safe, transparent, and just a little bit flashy. Dubai is smirking, “We’re the new sheriff in crypto town.”

Authorities, ever the party poopers, are slapping warnings on crypto scams after this gem of a heist. A 65-year-old ex-engineer once fixing bridges suddenly fixated on crypto bridges to… nowhere.ICYMI: his wallet is now a haunted house 🏚️🕷️

The analysts, those esteemed sages of modern-day augury, beckon our attention to the shifting winds of fortune. The year wanes, and the melancholy investor, once wary, now gambles, seemingly driven by the dread of Christmas and the Year of Our Lord’s end.

Behold, the XRP whales, those titans of the crypto seas, are amassing more, while ETF inflows, like a steady rain, increase. The price, in its characteristic caprice, meanders within a narrow range. The venerable Ali Martinez, that sage of the market, posits that this may herald a 16% ascent. 🐋
